MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to Austin and the TASA Conference at St. Edward’s University. It promises to be an outstanding program of speakers, events and forums around the topics of Community and Art. After 42 years, the members of the Texas Association of Schools of Art, though well versed in both topics, are in for a exceptional gathering of stimulating, informative and fun with fellow artists and friends.

CONFERENCE CHAIRS

We would like to welcome you and thank you for being a part of Art + Community, the 44th Annual TASA conference, hosted by St. Edward’s University. We’ve had a lot of fun planning this year’s conference, and hope you enjoy what’s in store. The 2013 conference theme, Art + Community: a shared dialog of green art, social activism, collaboration and community art, explores the open exchange of ideas, influences,

policies and actions that artists and communities engage in both at the local and global level. With over 40 speakers from all corners of Texas, and a keynote speech and workshop from Houston-born artist Mel Chin, we hope this will be an exciting fun-filled conference

keynote speaker

melchin

After graduating from Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee in 1975, Mel Chin later moved to New York City in 1983. His work reflects his concern for the environment and social consciousness. His work is often exhibited or installed in public spaces beyond the traditional confines of the gallery or museum. For Chin, art has the power to provoke greater social awareness and a sense of responsibility in the viewer. Through community actions, he has engaged innercity neighborhoods and helped to rejuvenate local economies. His interest in science and the environment can be seen in some of his most famous works including Revival Field, s.p.a.w.n. and knowmad were featured in the first season of the pbs series art21. His recent project, the Fundred Dollar Bill Project, is an innovative artwork made of millions of

drawings. This creative action is intended to support Operation Paydirt, an art/science project uniting three million children with educators, scientists, health care professionals, designers, urban planners, engineers and artists. After Katrina wiped out much of New Orleans, Chin was invited to the city to see how he could make a difference in the community. Working with scientists, Chin found the contamination in the soil in New Orleans to be at a hazardous level. As a solution, Operation Paydirt was put into action. In 2013, once Fundred reaches its goal of 3 million artworks, an armored truck, running on vegetable oil, will pick up the drawings and take them to Washington d.c., where we will request from Congress an exchange of Fundred Dollars for 300 million dollars worth of aid for New Orleans.

She will present her paper, “The Intersection of Social Activism and Community: Performing Civil Rights in Southern California”, at the 2013 TASA conference.

Stacy Schultz received her Ph.D. in Art History from Rutgers University in 2004. Her previous teaching positions include two appointments as Visiting Assistant Professor at Kentucky Statement University (2004-2005) and The University of Texas at Arlington (2007-2008). She has also taught a variety of courses in the California State University system (CSU Northridge, CSU Fullerton, CSU San Bernardino, and San Diego State University) ranging from women’s studies to nineteenthcentury art. Professor Schultz’s research and teaching concentrate on the intersections of race and gender in contemporary performance art, photography, film, and video. Her dissertation, “The Female Body in Performance: Themes of Beauty, Body Image, Identity, and Violence,” has evolved into the departure point for two lectures given at the College Art

roberthite

Hite resituates his architectural sculptures in outdoor settings, magnifying the effects of dislocation that is central to all his imagery. In 1997, Hite and his family moved to a Methodist church and parsonage in the village of Esopus, New York. The artist is currently represented by Susan Eley Fine Arts in New York City, Cardwell Jimmerson Gallery in Los Angeles, Espacio En Blanco in Madrid, and Pearl Arts Gallery in Stone Ridge, New York. Hite will be a visiting artist at St. Edward’s University, and will give a lecture at the 2013 TASA conference. An exhibition of his will be on display in the Scarborough Phillips Library at St. Edward’s University. He will also install a new sculpture designed for the St. Edward’s Campus. This work, “Crossing Safely”, was inspired by a modest shack in Arrazola, Oaxaca, Mexico. This sculpture addresses issues of immigration.

Born in 1956 in Virginia, Robert Hite attended Virginia Commonwealth University and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. After studying ink brush painting in Malaysia, he worked as a studio assistant with painter Leon Berkowitz. Informed both by a rich southern narrative tradition and a closeness to natural environments, Hite’s imagery draws upon his memories of youthful wanderings in the Virginia tide waters. He has sought out and photographed rural dwellings not only in the southern United States and the Caribbean, but also in Central and South America, as well as Europe and Asia. Working within painting, sculpture and photography, Hite’s highly refined technique and meticulous attention to detail produce illusions that are both confounding and transformative.

Globalization has brought the world closer together and has resulted in a heightened sense of the familiar. This feeling of familiarity provides a bridge through which Yoo can access and magnify her perception of a world derived from personal experience. In her work,

the fictive nature of a space that is both idealized and conditioned by our society reflects skepticism and multiplicity as she obscures the distinction between past and present, stereotypes and the real, and collective, personal memories.

Guided by a conceptual framework of reciprocity, Borderland Youth at Texas State is working with various communities of youth living in the US/Mexico border region to creatively reflect upon the cross-cultural, human experiences

existent within this significant social geography. By using participatory art we are able to create work that functions as a mechanism to activate social awareness and provide access to a complete story of the US/Mexico border.

Cathi Ball has completed work on the Eastland Outdoor Art Museum, a project conceived in her sketchbooks. This unique Museum is an attempt to make art history accessible to all the children of Eastland, Texas. The museum

includes 42 works at 40 locations completed over 3yrs with 144 local volunteers and students. The project allows students of Eastland access to world famous art while advertising the artist work. This community wide project has truly “painted the town”.

The mission of Austin Green Art is to help the community understand the revolutionary calling defining “sustainability” by visually representing it, inspiring people to engage, and building participatory programs that give people a feeling of its transformative power. We

aspire to train a new generation of artists who serve their communities. A Green Artist is an agent for change, uniquely qualified to merge environmental, social and economic considerations into projects that raise social network capital and standards of sustainability.

This presentation examines the history of recycling human hair to create art. The utilization of human hair in art can be traced back to Queen Victoria’s reign in the mid nineteenth century. The presentation examines the multiple ways human

hair is used by contemporary artists. Artists ‘go green’ by recycling a personal part of the human body - hair. Cultural perceptions and myths about hair will be discussed in an art historical context.

Edward O. Wilson is quoted saying “destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.” Art certainly doesn’t have the ability to correct global climate change, but it can educate and inform. There is an abundant history of using

nature as a metaphor to reflect and comment on morals, values and humankind. The use of nature as a metaphor emulates an attempt to place ourselves within nature. Today we face an unknown nature as it’s being lost before we discover it and invented before we understand it.

This presentation will look at a diverse group of people responding directly to contemporary works of art and how these works affect their lives. Barrett has been working with elderly in assisted-living homes, cancer patients, autistic teenagers, business men and women, and

students of all ages, pre-K through Ph.D., in the USA and in Holland (visiting artist position). He is concerned with people building meaningful connections between contemporary art and their personal and communal lives.

appreciating life through artterry barrett, professor at university of north texas

To understand artists, we start with what makes an artist the creator: the Complete Artist Communicator. To accomplish this, the artist uses all talents to serve human beings through a team effort that make up for deficiencies in an individual.

Building this team, we must understand ingredients: 1) recruit a team of individuals who use their senses to communicate; 2) mix in dedication & passion of the focused effort; 3) envision transcending the surface to humanity.

Dr. Calabrese will present film noir clips and discourse related to the problematic. This means that the films attempt to deal with a problem without overtly stating it. Ostensibly these are thriller/suspense films, murder mysteries. Beneath many plots are issues dealing with the

returning vet to a society that is less than eager to have him, a world in which he does not fit. He is oftentimes forced to assume the position of a criminal who has to vindicate himself by overcoming various insurmountable obstacles. Each film presents on this theme.

A committee of faculty members was formed from the various departments in the School of the Arts to create an identity for this new school and create an event that would encompass all of the arts. The concept of the Art Triangle came about looking at a map of and noting

that a line drawn around all of the buildings created a triangular shape. Following this theme the concept began to emerge as an interactive tour or artswalk, featuring arts in non-traditional settings; in and around the buildings on the map, where anything could happen.

Colby Parsons has been in several collaborative projects. One with sculptor Brian Boldon in 2006, one with the sculptor Mark Collop from 2007–2008, and one with electroacoustic composer Greg Dixon from 2008 up to now. These

collaborations have incorporated a range of media including clay, glass, video, wood, cardboard, found objects, and light. Most of these have involved settings with an interactive element inviting the viewer’s participation in the work.

Future Atkins co-created an art opportunity for low-income youth in Lubbock, Texas. Fourteen and fifteen year-olds enrolled in an art class where they created bikes with discarded parts and throw-away materials, while art studio

majors created “dream bikes” using metals and fabrication work. Both sets of bikes were displayed along with true low-rider bikes from the local community in a parade. This presentation will dissect and discuss both student’s experiences.

The logistical challenges and rewards of working, exchanging and exhibiting these 3-D compositions on a national scale. Working in regional groups of five to nine people, artists have created a body of collaborative three-dimensional artwork. Each participant was to create a “seed”

element, the beginning segment of a sculpture, which was then passed onto other group members who each added their own artistic element to every piece. Once the cycle of exchange was complete, each artist will have contributed to every sculpture.

Mutchler’s interests in Foundations derive from the Bauhaus Preliminary Course- and consequently bringing relevance to these ideals. Foundations should be comprised of three equally emphasized components: craft (the teaching of technical proficiency), context

(relevant vocabulary and history), and conceptual acuity (art and design as a pursuit of knowledge). For the last forty years many art departments have overlooked the critical potential of Foundations.

St. Edwards University recently undertook a restructuring of its design course. Emphasizing design process, conceptualization, and the relationship between dimensional thinking, in a laboratory type studio environment, this embeds learning

hand skills and design principals. The goal is to provide students with tools to be both articulate and technically accomplished. By providing them with technical skills and theoretical frameworks they are prepared to engage and make.

Drawing is the most important skill for the beginning artist. It is also one of the most popular subjects in art. Finding the right textbook for your course however is almost impossible. As faculty we find ourselves piecing together resources

for our students, trying to balance technique with concept, and often failing at finding source material that is appropriate for a course. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, and if you can’t find the right book... just make one.

Many early American broadsides, children’s books, almanacs, and newspapers printed the phrase “Cash Paid for Rags” to solicit old cloth for use in paper-making. My project revisits the rag trade by taking discarded or second-hand

shirts and blueprinting them with phrases and images from nineteenth-century material culture, creating wearable hybrids of the early American women’s movement and contemporary “artifacts” from my local thrift store.

Photography has been a tool for social and political change for many years and it can exude tremendous educational authority. What better time than now for artists to use art as a tool and education on the specific issue of the border fence and all the challenges it produces.

The border fence strikes at the very essence of our culture and democracy. I ask my class how we can investigate the relationships of image, concept, and the cognitive process. In this climate how do we produce a principle and call authority into question via digital photography.

The border wall controversy affects every citizen of the United States and Mexico in one way or another.Teaching in McAllen, Texas has heightened Matthews’ awareness of the effects the wall is having on our countries and how these changes

will impact our lives for years to come. He uses the classroom to discuss pros and cons of the wall and what artists can do to bring awareness to the situation.

The art past eras sought to establish its autonomy, “art for art’s sake,” leaving behind the societal functions of the past. Now, art is not supposed to do something, it is merely supposed to be. This has led to the segregation of fine art, relegating it to the rarified world of galleries

and museums, as distinct from daily life and the “real world.” This poses a dilemma for artists who seek to engage social or political issues, such as the walls along the border. In the face of something that inflicts itself so powerfully upon the “real world,” what role can art play?
